Digitally remastered and expanded edition includes five bonus tracks previously unreleased in the UK and a lavish booklet with fully restored artwork, photos, memorabilia and essay. The double album, originally released in 1986, was a recorded document of the band's Chronicle of the Black Sword stage show of 1985, based on the Elric series of novels by Michael Moorcock. The original CD release omitted Moorcock's onstage narration and contribution. This newly remastered edition features the entire stage show and restores Moorcock's narrative on CD, making a definitive edition of one of Hawkwind's most memorable works.
